While Malema's message resonated with his South African audience who went on to make his party the third largest in the country, nine months after its formation, it did not jell with Zimbabweans-the very people that he was saying had liberated themselves.

Instead Zimbabweans are whining day-in, day-out, about how the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front has ruined the country and why its policy of empowering locals is stifling foreign direct investment.

The country, they cry, can never recover as long as Robert Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, first as Prime Minister, then as President, is in power.

Mugabe says Zimbabwe is going to wage an economic revolution– President Robert Mugabe today said Zimbabwe was going to wage an economic revolution using its natural resources to transform the gains of the liberation struggle into tangible wealth for the people. “We will be talking about how we can, together, once again, help each other now in our socio-economic programmes — another revolution to develop our countries so the fruits of what we fought for together can be yielded by yet another struggle, joint struggle, but this time a peace and economic struggle that we shall be waging with our natural resources so we can produce the necessary wealth for our people,” he told a visiting Chinese delegation. “Our relations with China are historical relations, they are revolutionary relations. We related to China for a long, long time during our struggle before our independence. We do not forget that and the Chinese people are our greatest friends in the international arena. We regard them really as part of us. So, when we get the people from China coming here they are coming to a country they helped to liberate. This is also part of their own world, part of their own country. So we are very happy.” Guo Jin Long who led the Chinese delegation said: “Strengthening the solidarity and cooperation relations with African countries has been a cornerstone of China’s diplomatic strategy. As Mr Xi Jinping, our President puts it, China and African countries have always been a community of shared faith and we are brothers of shared faith.”
